1.8 External Power Supply / Solar System
The CDS543 Nimbus Pulse logger can be powered entirely from an external 12V (8
source. Using a solar power source and also populating the logger with alkaline batteries means that the logger can be put
into dual mode. In this mode, while there is solar power available, the logger will remain online with the server. Should the
solar power fail, the logger will automatically switch to 'battery' mode until the solar power source is restored. This is ideal
for remote applications where there is no mains power available and streaming data is required.
1.9 Using the pulse inputs
Onboard the Nimbus Pulse logger are 2 pulse inputs. Pulse inputs are used by metering type devices (eg water or energy
meter) to measure consumption.
Example configuration of water meter with a volt free switch (e.g. reedswitch)
